Our Victory Day Camp for children with learning and/or attention difficulties."For Independence and Self-esteem"
Our Victory Day Camp is a 7-week day camping program for children from 5 to 13 years of age. It is oriented toward children with learning or attention difficulty. These children often lack self-esteem and are in need of a structured and supportive summer environment.
The program is administered by an outstanding and dedicated staff, trained in Special Education. The overall goal is to allow each camper to create value by developing feelings of independence and self worth. This is accomplished by concentrating on social skills as well as physical skills.
Structure
At Our Victory Day Camp, each camper participates in a full non-competitive camping program. A 3:1 camper to counselor ratio provides for a high level of individualization in all activities. In addition to a traditional day camp program, a child can participate in an academic program.
Program
Our program is designed to expose each camper to a wide variety of activities. The goal is to create an opportunity for each camper to achieve success, whatever the camper's ability.
For a child to gain self-esteem he/she must develop the basic knowledge of the skills involved.
Activities
All activities are designed to fit the needs of each season's population. The emphasis of all our activities is to help in the development of social awareness, interactive language skills, and fine and gross motor skills.
